Research Progress of Citrus Flavonoid Spectrum-Structure-Volume-Effect Relationship and Their Application in Dairy Cows
Citrus flavonoids are a class of important natural polyphenol compounds,which have anti-inflamma-tory,antioxidant,anti-microbial,immune regulation,anti-tumor cell and other bioactive functions,and have broad application prospects in animal husbandry industry.However,in the process of research and develop-ment,citrus flavonoids are not conducive to elucidating their active functions and exploiting specific metabolites due to their numerous components,complex metabolic pathways and diverse metabolites.Therefore,in this pa-per,the spectral structure-volume-to-effect relationship and metabolic pathway of citrus flavonoids and their ap-plication to dairy cows are systematically reviewed in order to provide theoretical basis for further development and utilization of citrus flavonoids in animal production.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(7):4145-4155]
